Do I get this correctly, the main wacom kernel driver development is
not done in the linuxwacom tree, but directly in the linux kernel? And
the contents of linuxwacom are just backports? I got the wrong
impression that it is the other way around, because linuxwacom
contains the OLED patch and the kernel doesn't.

Oh boy, when starting to develop the patch for xf86-input-wacom, I did
not expect having to deal with the kernel driver too. At least not to
such a large extend.

Before submitting a patch to dmitry I will make my mind up if the
patch can be sent "as is", or if I do a bit of further modifications.
Considering that we have a need for "event device IOCTL tunneling", it
might be worth giving a try to submit a patch for this too. Well, and
I have to perform a bit of spare time rearrangement ;)

Is the following correct?
* dmitry's tree: git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/dtor/input.git
* linux-input mailing list: http://vger.kernel.org/vger-lists.html#linux-input

Another question: what is "input-wacom"? I cannot find it.

Thanks,
Eduard
